Application led November 18, 1908. Serial No. 488,29.

To whom 'it 'may concern:

Be it known that I, Louis H. Kom., a citizen of the United States, residing at Sherman, in the county of Grayson and State of Texas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Protective Carpet-Lining, of which the following is a specification. Y This invention relates to linings and has special reference to a lining for carpets.

An object of this invention is to produce a lining which will protect the carpet from undue wearand that will be sanitary in that it catches allthe dust and dirt which accumulates beneath the carpet.

A further object of the invention is the provision of a carpet lining which forms a plurality of channels or passageways beneath the carpetfor free circulation therebeneath.

The invention still further designs the manufacture of carpet lining from stock materials so that the same may be easily and economically produced.

Other blects and advantages will be apparent from the following description and it will be understood that changes in the specifc structure shown and described may be made within the scope of the claims without de arting from the spirit of the invention.

the forming a portion of this specification, and in which like numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the lining as applied to aportion of carpet, one corner of which is in a raised position, Fig. 2 is a top view of a strip of the. improved lining, ig. 3 is a detailed longitudinal vertical section of the same, Fig. 4 is a detailed Vtransverse sectional view of the strip of hnmg. n

vReferring to layerof carpet of common formation which is lshown in the drawings as bein supported uponvthe improved The comprises a base 11 composed of a flexib' e mateial: having a plane upper surface upon which is secured a layer of corrugated mathe drawings, 10 designates a.

' terial 12. The corrugations are held in position by the insertion of strips 13 alternately positioned therein upon the base 11. The strips 13 are` employed for the purpose of maintaining a series of longitudinal passageways beneath the carpet 10 for the free circulation of air and also for the reception of dust and dirt from the carpet.

Positioned upon the upper surface of the layer of corrugated material 12 is a sheet of perforated material 14 which presents a flat and even surface for the lining aiid at the same time admits of the free passage of air and dust from the carpet to t e corrugated layer 12. Y

A lining of this nature can be manufactured from stock material as the corrugated material may be obtained and reinforced by the strips 13 before rpositioned between the base 11 and the e orated upper layer 14. The lining may e manufactured from any suitable material as. paper rubber or some fabric as the strips 13 will hold thecorruated layer 13 in the proper relation and v ormation.

W'hit is claimed is:- 1. carpet hnin' comprisin plane surfaced mateiial, a la er o? a base of corrugated ,material positioned on said ase, strips alter- LOUIS H. KOLL.
